Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

Opening the HP Elite x360 1040 G11 Hint: Power off the laptop and unplug all cables before starting.Undo the four captive Phillips-head screws securing the bottom panel.

Continue working your way around the sides and back until all internal clips are released and the panel can be removed.More info: The bottom panel gives access to the battery, SSD, and connectivity components, while the RAM remains soldered.
